| Apple to Acquire Beats Audio Another way of looking at it is Apple is acquiring Jimmie Iovine. | |
| Pass Integrated to Pass separates If I were you I wouldn't go to the Pass separates. The Theos like power, so the XA 60.5 probably won't work optimally. If you go larger Pass amps the costs quickly skyrockets and you'll then also have to question whether the XP10 is the right prea... | |
| Pass Integrated to Pass separates Do you have any loudspeakers? If you do, describe the room you play them in. Also, how would you describe the Pass sound? | |
| Help with compression and dynamic range Compressors and limiters (very fast acting compressors) are required so that music can be comfortably transposed or carried by the medium. They reduce the musical peaks and raise the low level signals. For instance, on vinyl records if the music i... | |
| Apple to Acquire Beats Audio It's a great move by Apple. They have more than $145 billion in cash reserves which puts the purchase price in perspective. Beats is not well regarded by audiophiles, but it is the dominate, most widely recognized, brand of upscale headphones. Cou... | |
| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed Kiddman, what you're not understanding is that the audiophile world is on the cutting edge of physics. Who needs CERN and their super collider when real advances in the understanding of sub-atomic particle behavior can be advanced with a $30k ster... | |

| What direction should Hi Fi tune fuse be installed No one appointed Almarg, but if you took it to a vote he'd win by a landslide. Credibility is hard earned and easily lost. | |
| Fast forward 25 years, what will audio be like? Schubert, interesting choice of the cause of WW2. But as an example of foreseeing the future I don't think it's particularly compelling. Basically, France and Germany have been in conflict since the time of Julius Caesar. To predict another confli... | |
| Fast forward 25 years, what will audio be like? History teaches us its usually fairly easy to see what's coming...This statement would carry more weight if the poster would provide some examples. Like he said, it should be fairly easy. | |
| The End Of Out-Of-Print Music If the vinyl albums exists it is fairly easy, although time consuming, to convert them to digital. Tape only became widely used in audio recording in the 1950s and only a few of the big companies kept serious archives of their tapes. It really sho... | |
| The End Of Out-Of-Print Music It doesn't cost nothing to obtain the rights to music, to convert records or tapes to digital formats, to maintain the servers for downloading the music files or to run the website where consumers go to find the music. | |
| Fast forward 25 years, what will audio be like? If history has taught us anything it's that the future is unknowable. | |
| DACS that don't do DSD - obsolete? I have a D/A that does DSD and I could care less about the feature. I've never downloaded DSD recordings and I don't foresee me doing so anytime soon. As such the DSD feature is meaningless to me. Does having DSD future proof the machine? After th... |
